We have no formal release date. Even if it was when he said we're a slow team as far as scripting goes and things happen. It's unrealistic to say to the community that it's going to be released on x month. If that's a real PM I don't know why he said that and you should disregard it. I'm not saying snk doesn't know what he's talking about, but look at our track record.
I can tell you that last year (I think) we were so close to releasing it we were counting the days and then it got pushed back so don't take any dates you hear for granted.
